I love having a boss and a landlord
It feels great!
I love selling my soul every morning
It feels great!
I love having no choice in the matter
It feels great!
I love the smell of guilt in the morning
It feels great!
One day I'll have my own way
Till then I must obey
I can't wait to give the orders, yeah
I love having no time and no money
It feels great!
I love being considered a cripple
It feels great!
I love the sound of rats in the ceiling
It feels great!
40 years and then I'll retire
No bad like!
La la la la lalalala, I'm a happy man

It's hard to write a country song,
When the countryside is gone,
There's no trees or birds or bees,
We slaughter them just as we please
Burn it all, burn it all again
Let's go live in hell
Burn it all, burn it all again
Let's kid on it's fine
Burn it all, burn it all again
Let's go live in hell
The ship'll sink so get out quick,
Evacuate or feel the prick,
The night is dark the days will burn,
8 billion voices scream in turn
De vez en cuando ellos sellan nuestro destino
Ve a rezar a tus dioses no es demasiado tarde
Every once in a while they seal our fate
Go and pray to the gods it's not too late

Semi-Educated Delinquent

Don't mind me, I'll stay at the back,
I know I'm a distraction of the highest disorder,
Don't mind me, I cannot be taught at all
Except by me and folk of my ilk
Who make learning an engagement with colloquial language
Unlike you in ivory towers that,
They called me a disruption
I don't know what that means
They call me a distraction
What does that mean for me
I cannot pass any exam,
Even though I make my living with the skills I've created,
I cannot remember my marks at all
They mean shit out here in real life,
Where all that really matters is your competence baby.
Mark that down however which way you choose

Fetishising Struggle
02:09

|

Kid on your life's a struggle, a parody of somebody else,
your problems are your creation
'cause you believe that character comes and grows from struggle
Everyone else is fed up, you parodied their own misery
'cause you are bored to tears with having it easy
and you have no ideas and nowhere to go
so you crave a struggle
You've got it easy, they need more
It's just that simple kill all lies

I want her, I need her, the perfect wife
Without her I won't have the perfect life
My high score will falter
without the prize
She's perfect, a full ten
but crazy man
She lets me win,
again and again
She lets me win
or I won't play

Made My Bed

It's plain to see that nothing is real
It's plain to see that it's fantasy
I live inside lightbulbs
'cause they're the only things
that can comfort me sometimes
All my words they have no meaning
All my words are meaningless
All my words they have no meaning
Everything is meaningless in hell again
I know there is no escape from here
That's why I have made my bed
I know there is no way back from here
That's why I have made my bed
These voices from the door
Tell lies I've heard before
They'll say it's far too late
Yet still I hesitate

A Warm Place
03:08
|
|

Sometimes I feel like I'm all alone
Sometimes I don't feel at all
Then when the wind blows
I know I'm free
I've found the warm place inside
The sun will come out today
But that does not mean
the clouds will just go away
Sometimes I feel like I'll die alone
Sometimes I don't feel at all
Anywhere the wind blows I know I'll go
I'll find a warm place outside
The sun will come out today
But that does not mean
the rain will just go away
Now the rain might just last all day
But that does not mean
it's gonna be a bad day

I love my daddy's dole it keeps me high
And keeps me sit on this silver throne
Daddy's dole is all I need,
It keeps me fed while you all bleed yeah
Daddy's dole is perfect just for me,
Don't need to learn how you live
Daddy's dole is all I''ll ever need,
Don't need to learn how you live
All I'll ever need in life is daddy's dole
Daddy's dole is all I know,
It keeps me here and you below oh,
Daddy's dole is all I want,
It keeps me in my favourite haunt yeah
Daddy's dole is gone oh no
How will I live how will I roll
Daddy's dole was all I knew
And now I'm feeling pretty blue yeah
Daddy's dole was perfect just for me
I need to learn how you live
Daddy's dole was all I ever knew
I need to be like you
All I need is daddy's dole to comfort me

Two men faced off in the colosseum,
One raised his father's sword,
the other raised his fists,
Now if I was a gambling man,
I'd tell you where I'd bet,
I won't put down my fathers sword tonight
Two men bent the knee at a marathon,
One near the finish line,
the other at the start,
Now if you were a gambling man,
I'd tell you who'll win,
I won't run back
and give that man a chance
Don't call it meritocracy,
that really makes me laugh,
Just kiddin folks It makes me wanna cry
We're force fed sheer hypocrisy,
And blinded from the truth,
There's genius that resides inside us all
Two men shed light on poverty,
One from experience,
the other from a book,
You don't have to be a gambler
to tell me who got applause
I'll bow my head and take it all right in
We're far from a democracy,
I'd say we're losing ground,
While fascism is quickly on the rise,
They've demonised our sympathy,
they say it makes us weak,
But trust me
It's the greatest strength we have
Just trust me
It's the greatest strength we have

Utopia

I don't think that it's perfect,
it's just better than now,
Life could be an adventure
if we focus on how,
I have seen it around me,
it's not all in my head,
I would rather be happy,
would you rather be dead?
Ignorance is infection,
making everything strife,
Thinking everything's pointless,
what do you want from life,
You can call me a dreamer,
I just want to be free,
Wanting life to be better,
Is that only just me?
Pessimism the fashion,
breeding pure apathy,
Seeing nature as ruthless,
ignoring all sympathy,
Futures guided by vision,
what you want it to be
I don't think that it's easy,
pick the best fantasy

Sittin fillin out the book of lies while the sky is grey
and your mother tells you something,
"Get a steady job cos you can have fun in the afterlife, son."
Well I'm too drunk to greet and I'll warm my feet,
by dancin in an alleyway kiddin on I'm somewhere else.
Why would I even try to cut the smile off my face.
I see two plastic bottles but their wisdom's been poured,
I've had two good ideas but they've never made it out the door,
they could have influenced your mind and been on TV.
Thinkin it was endless really put some scars on my mind.
What do you think about that?

Please come to me,
Convince me I am wrong
When the darkness takes my mind,
Show me better days
Standing on the precipice,
We're all about to die,
I know it doesn't seem like much
The ambulance reveals our better side
How long will this go on, this time
Please comfort me,
I can't control my thoughts,
When the darkness takes my soul
Show me better days
Well beyond the ends of time
the cavalry collides,
I know it doesn't seem like much
The rich get richer while the poor are fucked
oh who coulda guessed, who could've seen it come,
in a system that does not forgive and does not forget,
why oh why?
Maybe it'll be alright.
